Saturday’ sunshine brought out multitudes of motorcycle riders, and one of them crashed in Glenoma when his bike slid into a ditch and struck a culvert.<\/p>\n
James K. Nelson, 39, of Glenoma, was thrown about 20 feet and his Kawasaki KX250 went airborne, according to the area’s fire chief and the Washington State Patrol.<\/p>\n
Nelson was taken by aid car to Morton General Hospital with back pain after the approximately 2:20 p.m. wreck, according to authorities.<\/p>\n
He was reportedly not wearing a helmet.<\/p>\n
“He was very lucky,” said Chief Ed Lowe of Lewis County Fire District 18.<\/p>\n
It happened on the 100 block of Martin Road as Nelson attempted to negotiate a curve to the left, according to the state patrol. The responding trooper estimated about $500 damage to the 2009 off-road motorcycle.<\/p>\n
The state patrol reported Nelson was to be cited for no helmet, no motorcycle endorsement and operating an off-road vehicle on a road. Information about his condition was not available from the hospital this morning.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
